權術 Politics
136 1998/01/14 斯里蘭 巴拉瑪利孛
不要受到權術的動搖而離開此道。假如你害怕權術的話，你無法在靈修的領域上成功。
你必需跨越權術的阻礙。那是在考驗你的力量、承諾以及你的專注。你無法避免權術，但是否要使它留駐心頭則是你的選擇。
權術存在於十二個門徒之中，也圍繞著佛陀。克里希納則從頭到腳都在玩弄權術。而你卻說你不想要權術？你愈是不想要，它就愈留駐在你意識中。
當你體認到權術存在於任何團體或唱場中時，那是個恩賜──是個令你穩定與向內發展的機會。你將不會指責團體、逃離人群或膽怯，你將可以不執著地提升你的行動技巧。
權術的益處
▲ 帶出人的形形色色
▲ 讓你面對不同的觀點，方式與性向
▲ 加強你溝通與行動的技巧
▲ 帶出穩定與不動心
▲ 讓你清醒並且活用知識
▲ 提升你的接受力與容忍力
▲ 讓你體會到整個人生是場戲
堅強的人將帶著微笑、穿越權術，而軟弱的人則會哀嘆。
跨越權術的門檻而來到神這裡。
136 Politics
Weekly Knowledge #136 Paramaribo 14 Jan 1998 Surinam
Don't let politics sway you away from the path. If you are afraid of politics you cannot be successful in the spiritual realm. You have to cross the barricade of politics. It is the test of your strength, commitment, and your focus. You cannot avoid politics, but to harbor it in your mind or not, is your choice. There were politics among the 12 apostles, and with Buddha. And Krishna was in politics from head to toe. And you say you don't want politics? The more you don't want it, the more you will harbor it in your consciousness. When you recognize politics in any group or Satsang, that is a blessing for you to be centered and go inward. You can do that without blaming the group and running away from people, or chickening out. It can enhance your skill to act and not get attached.
Advantages of politics:
-- Brings up diversity in people.
-- Puts in front of you different viewpoints, ways, and tendencies.
-- Enhances your skill to communicate and act.
-- Brings centeredness and dispassion.
-- Shakes you up and makes you stand up to the knowledge.
-- Enhances your capacity to accept and tolerate.
-- Makes you realize the whole life is a game.
Cross the threshold of politics and come to the Divine.
The strong will smile through the politics and the weak will lament.
